The Great Latin American Women project follows on from The Billiken Magazine Centenary Project: Children's Literature and Childhood in Argentina, 1919-2019 (AHRC Leadership Fellowship with Billiken's publisher, Editorial Atlántida, as project partner). Billiken has been published continuously in Argentina for a hundred years and had historic circulation in many Latin American countries. A pioneer of what is now called 'edutainment', for decades it influenced Argentine schooling as teachers would set homework based on the magazine's educational content. The research findings of the original archival project included an analysis of the traditional representations of gender roles throughout the history of the magazine, coupled with the long-standing focus on Great Men (independence heroes, politicians, scientists) as role models for boy readers (the magazine's 'men of tomorrow'). In response to this, the PI worked alongside Billiken, leading an international team of creative industries professionals, to create the illustrated children's book, 100 Grandes Mujeres Latinoamericanas [100 Great Latin American Women], as the flagship commemorative product for the Billiken centenary, signalling a new era for the magazine with a new, more inclusive, narrative. This book showcases the diversity of experience of Latin America's leading women from the pre-conquest to the present day, and their contributions to fields including politics, human rights, sport, the arts, science, engineering and conservation. The Follow-on project will extend the reach and impact of this book by supporting the development of freely available audio-visual and digital educational resources based on the lives and achievements of the women featured in the book, for use both inside and outside of the classroom. The educational resources will promote knowledge of historical women who played key roles in nation-building and subsequent political events to encourage greater integration of these women's histories into national curricula. The visibility of today's leading women will be increased by developing material in line with the contemporary Great Women's diverse spheres of influence. The short animated films developed as part of this project will tell twenty of the Great Women's stories in a fun way as the entertainment-focussed companion to the educational resources. The funding will also support engagement activities with key stakeholders in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay: teachers, through training workshops and children, through 'Great Latin American Women' art workshops. The project coincides with Billiken entering a new phase as it consolidates its identity as a multiplatform children's content producer. The support of the Follow-on Funding will ensure that the Great Women project takes centre stage in this new era. In the long-term, the project is a pathway to impact on national curricula throughout Latin America with the ultimate goal of contributing to the advancement of gender equality in the region.

伟大的拉丁美洲妇女项目是继比利肯杂志百年项目：儿童文学和童年在阿根廷，1919-2019 （AHRC领导奖学金与比利肯的出版商，编辑Atlántida作为项目合作伙伴）。《比利肯》在阿根廷连续出版了一百年，并在许多拉丁美洲国家具有历史性的发行量。作为现在所谓的“寓教于乐”的先驱，它影响了阿根廷的教育几十年，因为老师们会根据杂志的教育内容布置作业。原始档案项目的研究结果包括对杂志历史上性别角色的传统表现的分析，以及长期以来对伟人（独立英雄、政治家、科学家）作为男孩读者（杂志的“未来男人”）的榜样的关注。为此，PI与Billiken合作，带领一支由创意产业专业人士组成的国际团队，创作了绘本儿童读物《100位伟大的拉丁美洲女性》，作为Billiken百年纪念的旗舰产品，标志着该杂志以一种新的、更具包容性的叙事方式进入了一个新时代。这本书展示了拉丁美洲从征服前到现在的主要女性的多样性经验，以及她们在政治，人权，体育，艺术，科学，工程和保护等领域的贡献。后续项目将通过支持开发基于书中所述妇女的生活和成就的免费视听和数字教育资源，以扩大本书的覆盖面和影响，供课堂内外使用。教育资源将促进对在国家建设和随后的政治事件中发挥关键作用的历史妇女的认识，以鼓励将这些妇女的历史更大程度地纳入国家课程。通过开发符合当代“伟大女性”不同影响范围的材料，将提高当今主要女性的知名度。作为这个项目的一部分，动画短片将以有趣的方式讲述20个伟大女性的故事，作为教育资源的娱乐伙伴。这笔资金还将支持与阿根廷、乌拉圭和巴拉圭主要利益攸关方的参与活动：通过培训讲习班支持教师，通过“伟大的拉丁美洲妇女”艺术讲习班支持儿童。该项目恰逢Billiken进入一个新阶段，巩固了其作为多平台儿童内容生产商的身份。后续资金的支持将确保“伟大女性”项目在这个新时代占据中心位置。从长期来看，该项目是影响整个拉丁美洲国家课程的途径，其最终目标是促进该区域的性别平等。
